Without a doubt, floating over the Masai Mara National Park is one of those once in a lifetime experiences, which if you have the chance you should make sure snap it up.
The majority of balloon trips start near the Governors Camp inside the Park, however this can be organised and reached from a number of the surrounding camps.
For anyone who has not been in a hot air balloon before, your adrenaline will start pumping as you rise early in the morning when it’s still dark and see the roaring burners lighting up the balloon as it begins to rise. Once everyone is settled into the balloon the pilot will slowly lift off. Other than the odd blast from the burners to keep the balloons height, you will drift silently over the plains watching the sunrise in a truly magical experience and one that is especially popular to include in a Kenya honeymoon.
If you think it couldn’t get any better, the experience is finished off with a champagne breakfast right in the middle of the plains.
